We work to build new pressure and clear global position on Russia – Zelensky
According to Ukrinform, he stated this in his video address.
"Today, I also received briefings from our delegation in the United States: Rustem Umerov reported on meetings with envoys of President Trump. Several rounds of talks have already taken place. Work is underway on documents needed to end the war," Zelensky said.
According to him, it is crucial that the Ukrainian team fully informs the American side about what is happening in Ukraine and the ongoing Russian attacks on the country's energy infrastructure.
"If the Russians seriously wanted to end the war, they'd focus on diplomacy – not on missile strikes, blackouts, and even attempts to damage our nuclear power plants. We have information about the sites Russia reconnoitered in preparation for strikes. Everything clearly shows that diplomacy is not a priority for Russia. This must be acknowledged. Pressure on the aggressor and the real cause of this war must continue. The cause is in Moscow. In the coming week, we will work to build this new pressure and a clear global position on Russia," Zelensky concluded.
As Ukrinform reported, on January 17 in Miami, Florida, negotiations were held with participation from Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Rustem Umerov, Head of the President's Office Kyrylo Budanov, and leader of the parliamentary faction Servant of the People David Arakhamia. On the American side, consultations included Steven Witkoff, Jared Kushner, US Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll, and White House official Josh Gruenbaum.
